Why would it be good to add a default value? I believe explicit units are generally preferable because they avoid ambiguity and misunderstandings. With other tags, values without an explicit unit are already common in the database, so this usage needs to be documented. But introducing a default for a tag that is generally used with explicit units doesn't seem useful unless you *want* people to start omitting the units and rely on the default. > And the wiki could also state that a space is required between the > numeric values and the units, if any. The wiki mentions this as a general rule: "The following units can be explicitly specified by adding them after the numeric value, separated by a space". But I agree that this recommendation should also be repeated on Key:* pages.
